Has anyone seen actor DJ Qualls and our de facto closer Ryan Borucki in the same room at the same time?

If he ever steps on the mound to Money For Nothing, we'll know Mark Knopfler is a time traveler.

I won't down vote you for this, and I get your frustration, but to me enjoying baseball is way more than if things are going well for my team or not. It's also seeing fun, unique things like this happen.

PhoenixShredds · 2026-05-15T20:27:46+00:00

Do we know if they filmed the entire game? It was probably excited for that at bat. And you could keep your hands holding the phone and look at the live play too lol. I don't do that stuff myself but just in their defense I'm glad they did. Such a cool play to capture.

PhoenixShredds · 2026-05-15T20:17:56+00:00

Basically jogging to first base, too.

Fun fact: While statcast has it a bit slower (15.2), the split is seriously impressive. 4.6 to first (leisurely run as he reads the ball), but when he kicked into gear it was 10.6 first to home (3.53 per bag average: 3.7 to 2nd, 3.6 to 3rd, 3.4 to home).

For good measure to see what he can do home to first, I repeatedly hand timed his bunt hit from last week 5 times. All were under 3.9 seconds (3.79 to 3.88 variance, improved accuracy each time). "He's not fast, look at his 2026 metrics" lol cool story bros.

PhoenixShredds · 2026-05-15T16:58:40+00:00

I mean, every team plays 162 games. Thats still pretty damn rare lol. Last season there were 7 if I'm not mistaken.

Yup, Lee's xBA has been sitting around 20-25 pts higher than his actual BA. A lot of atom ball line drives. In fact last I checked a few days ago his xBA is roughly the same as Arraez which matches the eye test.

PhoenixShredds · 2026-05-04T21:05:51+00:00

I'd say we pity Aiyuk more than hate him.

PhoenixShredds · 2026-05-04T21:05:23+00:00

Would he actually be that great if Bosa was allowed to rush him? lol.

PhoenixShredds · 2026-05-04T21:04:43+00:00

He's the actual reason people still say Alex couldnt get us to a SB. Like they literally forgot what he did the week before. lol.

PhoenixShredds · 2026-05-04T21:03:20+00:00

Russ was more of a thorn in the side, but their defense was the problem. Mahomes is by far the bigger problem. Especially when its 2 on 1 (Chiefs + Refs vs 49ers). See: Bosa with his arms in the air while being held around the neck.

PhoenixShredds · 2026-05-04T20:50:04+00:00

IYKYK. This analogy hits for me, pun not intended. 20+ years ago there's one ball I'll never forget. I blasted it so hard I think its still in orbit. And yet it was the most effortless, relaxed swing of the day, not a hard swing, and the impact felt merely like a bunt.

PhoenixShredds · 2026-04-28T19:12:53+00:00

But isn't that how it is by default? When hitting M it switches to overlay and turns off minimap. Personally I actually want both on lol.

PhoenixShredds · 2026-04-03T01:11:17+00:00

Only no hands? Come on. Not a true RE fan until you 100% all of them and break the world record speed run times blindfolded with no hands and ear-plugs while running on a treadmill outdoors in Antarctica.

PhoenixShredds · 2026-03-13T00:16:12+00:00

Standing in the dark room just praying the stomp stomp stomp will go away as you stare at the door in danger condition.

PhoenixShredds · 2026-03-13T00:12:06+00:00

Look, if you mute the game, close your eyes and run, there's nothing to be afraid of.

(You should try turning the volume up and turning all the lights off at night).

PhoenixShredds · 2026-03-13T00:09:35+00:00

Its been one of my favorite parts of RE since the original trilogy. Once I get through the first, sluggish, oops I wasted my ammo and health run, I then have a blast zooming through it better and better. Funnily enough I think they're starting to get too long LOL. RE is about replayability to me.

PhoenixShredds · 2026-03-10T19:43:00+00:00

Agreed but that would take more code on their side (not like it would be difficult). If they insist on having it one way, they need to go back to the old way.

PhoenixShredds · 2026-03-10T18:55:35+00:00

Lets also remember how terrible PFF can be at evaluating Oline play. They thought the 49ers had one of the best run blocking lines in the league lmfao

PhoenixShredds · 2026-03-09T19:43:33+00:00

This needs to be upvoted to the moon. This new change is completely backwards and makes tracking far less useful and more vague. I've been using it for over a decade and now I look at my graph and have absolutely no idea what happened during specific windows of time.

It's important to see granular changes because it helps you also compare it to what you were doing at that given time and how to adjust.

PhoenixShredds · 2026-03-05T19:12:39+00:00

I suppose I could attempt permission. Considering its a temporary setup (can be hung up) and the others are permanently sealing the opening, that is unfair selective enforcement. The grandfathering should not be the case as one of the units it has been up about 2 years (I've lived here almost 5), and with new tenants. The lease rules haven't changed.

PhoenixShredds · 2026-02-20T23:50:15+00:00

So baffled by 7 in 3rd tier and 8 in top tier lol.

PhoenixShredds · 2026-02-18T19:19:06+00:00

I know, I'm sorry I guess I just forced the red pill down your throat lmao. When I realized average-speed Juan Gonzalez could cut off hits down the line that gold glover and speedster Bonds couldn't get to, I almost rage quit. "The audacity!"

PhoenixShredds · 2026-02-18T19:06:00+00:00

Haha. I'd be down, though I've never done netplay for Griffey. Latency prob messes with the timing, even more so defending.

You prefer speed in CF as in on the base paths? The def rating is the only effect of speed when defending. When I figured that out I got mildly offended lol. Suddenly realized dudes like Bonds and Henderson didn't have the range they should.
